Kahric wants to pass the guard but black is keeping the position.
black has thrown up a leg looking for a triangle. Kahric doesn't defend quickly enough and black has managed to lock this one up! Can Kahric escape?! NO! He's tapping out! Damn, that was a quick submission - congrats to black on a fantastic submission victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:42 of round 3, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). big black!
